Mutoh ValueJet VJ-1604WX (64 inch) Indoor and Digital Transfer Large Format Printer

KEY FEATURES

The Mutoh ValueJet VJ-1604WX is easy to operate and maintain and delivers constant quality for volume production runs as well as short print runs. Maximise your profit with Mutoh’s award-winning Intelligent Interweaving print technology, which offers predictable and repeatable output quality fit for purpose every time in the shortest possible time and drastically reduces or even eliminates horizontal banding, step mismatch banding and the visible effects of missing or misfiring nozzles.

Mutoh’s proprietary DropMaster technology means constant and uncompromised print quality on any thickness/weight of transfer paper used with the ValueJet VJ-1604WX. DropMaster technology, specifically developed for Mutoh’s dual head ValueJet printers, eliminates the need for cumbersome and time consuming media dependent head adjustments.

The Mutoh ValueJet VJ-1604WX works with Mutoh’s new DS2-Series Dye Sublimation Inks. Developed specifically for the ValueJet VJ-1604WX print heads, Mutoh’s DS2-Series inks produce excellent nozzle stability for high speed and high volume printing, delivering superior image sharpness and definition. The DS2-Series inks can be used for transfer printing or direct printing onto fabrics such as polyester or mixed fibres. Mutoh’s new water-based dye sublimation inks are odourless, during both the printing and the transfer process and produce rich, vibrant colours and offer excellent colourfastness.

For transfer printing, Mutoh DS2-Series inks are optimised for use in combination with dedicated coated sublimation papers of different weights. In addition to transfer to synthetic fibres, they can also be sued for transfer onto pre-treated rigid substrates (e.g. mugs, plates, magnetic vinyls, wood, place mats, ChromaLuxe plates, tiles, mirrors, acrylic glass, metal, nylon, lighters, pens, CD’s and more). Direct printing on to fabric requires drying and fixation process equipment, a calendar or a heat press.

Mutoh DS2-Series Dye Sublimation Inks deliver top scores in washing, perspiration, and light fastness properties, including UV durability. DS2 inks are Oeko-Tex compliant. After printing with DS2-Series inks onto transfer paper or polyester fabrics, a sublimation follow-up treatment (transfer) is required, through high pressure and temperature (calender), to fix the colours. When printing directly onto polyester fabrics with DS2 inks, and after sublimation, the fabric needs to be washed before use, to remove the brownish dispersant and to fully release the vibrant colours typical for sublimation inks. Average ink consumption is less than 5 ml/m² on transfer paper.
